Exquisite, driving, intense attacking football. If you made a list of everything you wanted to see your team do, Caley Thistle did it all.

Long passes, short passes - the right passes and hounding the ball when it was lost. In many ways, 2-0 flattered the home team. A doubling or even trebling of the scoreline would give a far better indication of Caley Thistle’s dominance.

Greg Tansey and Aaron Doran both scored two great goals, but they only told part of the story.

James Vincent failed a late fitness test, which presumably led to the inclusion of Marley Watkins from the start.

It was a blessing in disguise. Watkins had an excellent game, posing a threat to Motherwell throughout with driving runs at the opposition defence.

He had another outstanding performance. With regular performances like that, there is no doubt he could perform at a higher level.

Saturday also saw the introduction of a new type of player - the attacking centre-back.

On two or three occasions, Josh Meekings and Gary Warren would dribble forward with the ball and attempt to score or create chances. Meekings actually scored like this in the final pre-season game before the start of the last campaign in a 1-0 win at Charlton Athletic. It brings another dimension to ICT’s attack.

Credit must go to John Hughes as well. Tactically it was absolutely perfect and it shows the hard work that must be being done on the training pitch.

The interchanging of positions was obviously heavily worked on and the players look a lot fitter now than they did under Terry Butcher.

Many felt that just staying up this season was the best we could hope for but if ICT play that way throughout this season they’ll win a lot more games than they’ll lose this season.

Carry on like this and a top six finish and even getting into Europe are real possibilities.
